How neat it was and freezing cold too! The Olympic torch run for the Vancouver 2010 games came through Burlington today. A must see for us, so we bundled up and went downtown to this amazing Olympic flame. Unfortuneatly, it was getting dark as the flame passed by us and my camera doesn't take great pictures in the dark, more than a few feet away, but I did manage to get a few and lighten them up on the computer.
Whe reading Sharon's books, I had always wondered if Sharon was the Sharon McKay I went to school with back in Montreal. I no longer have to wonder, because is Sharon is the same Sharon McKay that I went to school with!!! Before the presentation, I went over and introduced mysef to Sharon (I'm sure some of the staff I was with must have wondered about the screaming that was going on in our corner of the store) as Sharon recognized me right away. After 40 years our paths have crossed again. And what is even more miraclous we are living within about 10 miles of each other in a community about 500 miles from where we grew up. Luckily and thankfully the owner of the bookstore had a camera and quickly snapped the above picture of the two of us.
